Bolton's Bench is a well-known natural knoll and landmark situated on the edge of Lyndhurst, the "capital" of the New Forest. A prominent ancient yew tree grows at the top of the hill, which is surrounded by grassy lawns where the New Forest's famous ponies, donkeys, and cattle often graze freely. According to a medieval tale, a dragon that terrorized the nearby village of Bisterne was slain on the site by a knight named Sir Maurice de Berkeley. The dragon's body supposedly became the hill, and the ancient yew trees grew where the knight and his hounds later died.

An amazing and very charming place that hides some secrets from the past..

Also known as Hurst spit, is a hook-shaped shingle spit which extends for 1.4 miles (2.25 km) from the Hampshire shore into the Solent towards the Isle of Wight. The spit forms a barrier which shelters a Site of Special Scientific Interest known as Hurst Castle And Lymington River Estuary. The spit shelters an area of saltmarsh and mudflats known as Keyhaven and Pennington marshes. At the end of the spit is Hurst Castle, an artillery fortress originally built on the orders of King Henry VIII ( not a very nice man at all ), and much enlarged in the 19th century. Hurst Point Lighthouse was built on the end of Hurst Spit in the 1860s.

Nothing lives in this place. Legend from commoners ( habitants of the new forest ), tell of the death of a young boy here in the early 1800's. His family buried him here and within days the woods around his body decayed and died. Birds won't even sit on the branches. it's a very eerie place.

The phenomenally beautiful Hurst Beach. Gorgeous views of the sea and lovely views of Milford on Sea. For beach enthusiasts, this is a must!

Beautiful lake, especially at sunset

Always check to forecast for the New Forest. Even days after a rainfall, the ground can stay flooded for long periods of time. Tracks can be washed away and even streams over them. Make sure you have the correct equipment to tackle these problems.
